Four AI apps. Two subscriptions. One phone. There's a better way. Oriveo puts GPT, Claude, Gemini and 500+ other AI models in one AI chat app. You can start free right now, without an API key. START FREE, NO SETUP No account, no card, no API key. Oriveo Free gives you a short fixed list of free models with quota limits, so you can start chatting the moment you open the app. EVERY AI, ONE APP One chatbot for every model — switch mid-conversation with a tap. 15 official providers: OpenAI, Anthropic (Claude), Google Gemini, xAI Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Qwen, Kimi, MiniMax, Z.ai, Groq, Together AI, Fireworks AI, OpenRouter and SiliconFlow — plus any OpenAI-compatible endpoint you bring. NOT SURE AN ANSWER IS RIGHT? GET A SECOND OPINION Send an answer you already have to a different model to double-check it. It's a sequential second look — ask once, then verify — not two answers side by side. NEVER LOSE A GREAT ANSWER — NOTES Save any reply, or just a highlighted passage, straight to a note. Every note remembers which model said it and which chat it came from. Folders, tags, full-text search, Markdown export. Notes are unlimited and free on your device; cross-device sync is a Pro capability. SEE WHAT YOU SPEND Every message shows an estimated cost at the provider's list price, calculated from actual token usage the moment the answer finishes. It's an estimate to steer your spending — your provider's invoice is the final word. WRITE YOUR CONTEXT ONCE — MEMORY Tell Oriveo who you are once, and every new chat already knows it. Read it, edit it, delete it, or switch it off per chat. SKILLS THAT DO THE WORK Reusable presets for translation, code review, planning and more. Each one can search the files in its own knowledge base. MODERN AI, FULLY SUPPORTED Streaming replies, reasoning display, web search, image generation, and attachments — images, PDFs, text, code and Office files. TWO WAYS TO GO FURTHER Oriveo AI is a paid hosted service that shows up as a built-in provider, drawing down a prepaid AI Balance. Sign in and 10 requests a week are included; beyond that, it isn't free. Or bring your own API keys and pay each provider directly at list price. Oriveo adds 0% markup. PRO — SOFTWARE, NOT AI Pro and Lifetime add cross-device sync for chats and notes, Usage Insights by provider, budget alerts, and unlimited Skills, folders and pinned chats. They include no AI usage or model credits. Download Oriveo, open it, and ask your first question — free to start, no setup. One AI chat app, available in 16 languages. Chats are stored on your device first, and cloud sync is optional. Oriveo connects to hosted provider APIs and does not run models on your device. GPT, Claude, Gemini and all model and provider names are trademarks of their respective owners. Oriveo is an independent app and is not affiliated with, sponsored, or endorsed by OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or any listed provider.
